After a huge 2016, The Smith Street Band are refusing to relent – returning with their brand new single and a spritely tour to boot.

Penned on the road whilst driving through America, ‘Death To The Lads’has crept into their live set and become an instant fan favourite with its call-to-arms chorus.

“It’s mainly about growing up and changing,” said Wil Wagner. “Admitting we make mistakes and trying to improve ourselves.”

The video clip features The Smith Street Mums -AKA the mothers of each of the four members, spending a day in the life with the band from waking up in a sharehouse to playing a sold-out show at The Rev in Melbourne.

They’ll play the Factory Theatre on Friday November 25.Tickets go on sale Friday November 4via the band’s website.
